#Tecnoafecciones ¿Quiénes hacen posible la tecnología?
El desarrollo de tecnología involucra redes globales de producción, transporte y almacenamiento. Nada se produce en un solo país👉Todo ello es posible gracias al trabajo de personas concretas.
La narrativa de la industria tecnológica presenta productos avanzados y deseables, ocultando las bases materiales y humanas sobre las que se producen.
‼️Gran parte se sostiene en condiciones de explotación laboral, sobre todo en países del #SurGlobal
Por ello, mientras más conozcamos sobre las diversas cadenas de suministro de la producción tecnológica y de la economía de los datos, mejor identificaremos nuestra capacidad de acción para proponer alternativas justas.
Acciones para (re)conectar y transformar la tecnología 🌿🤳

There we go: “a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution” is pretty much how Hawking and Hertog now describe the Universe itself, provides you accept that 'chemical' implies the underlying physics.

In fact, one of the most immediate and ominous threats facing America and much of the world today is the utilization of advanced technologies for the implementation of authoritarian control over societies.
My friends, the truth is that if we do not fight for and secure freedom today, the time will very soon come when it will be almost impossible to do so.
In retrospect, when one soberly considers the critical challenges that we must face together to survive as a species, our differences, at times, can become almost imperceptible."

Fellow citizens, the truth is that our present can only be as stable as our future.
For too long we have hobbled from decade to decade, generation to generation, and millennium to millennium, myopically adhering to superfluous battles that can never be won. Never once as a species forwarding or embracing an all encompassing path towards a certainly better future.
Our excuses have been many, our reasoning mostly incoherent, and our lack of vision as a species, certainly fatal.
For in the meantime, as each tick of the ages has passed, the critical threats posed and ignored by our species discordance have increased exponentially.
Pandemic famine and disease, massively destructive weapons, fatal atmospheric and climate change, super volcanic eruptions, catastrophic space body impacts, Orwellian societies of unparalleled oppression, and many other global catastrophes too numerous to list here, waiting to befall us at any moment."
